This may be crazy, but my son and I have the Monster Mutt body (with tongue and floppy ears, Awesom...) but being that we drive mostly in our parking lot, its got some pretty serious road rash. we were thinking about getting a a new body and had this crazy idea to maybe put something like a Slash/Slayer body on it. Are we nuts, is it possible with mods? just wondering your opinions. Thanks.

Just an observation after just transitioning from RC EDF Jets to RC Trucks (Stampede VXL 4x4) which I use for "lure coursing" for my Dutch Shepherd.

*** is the deal with lexan 0.06 body prices? 25 dollars...are we smoking crack here? I am a chemical engineer by training and thats about 40 cents of lexan injected into a sub 10K mold...Why has Proline/Jconcepts and Traxxas have us held hostage?

More money for a painted Proline body than a 4S SPC 5000 LIPO?

This is absolutely thievery in the first degree when they claim Traxxas parts are inexpensive but its 25 dollars for one ounce of lexan injection molded. I have a good friend that owns a plastics company and will look into how much for a 0.10 Lexan body mold and flood the zone with 15 dollar painted bodies, prototyped in the US and mfg in China.

Bad enough they stick you with a NiMH POS battery when you pay near 400 for a Pede 4x4 VXL...but 25 for a clear body and 71 for a painted Proline.

Here is a quick question. I have the skully that is built on the stampede platform. If I change the body mounts with the standard stampede mount will I be able to use the truck bodies that are available

Yes, but the skully has adjustable mounts so its fairly versital, ive used a bulldog slash body and a tamiya 1/12 scale van. As long as the wheel base is similer youll be fine
